P.S. - My jet lag is getting MUCH better. Slept for over 6 hours straight last night! Praise the Lord! Keep the prayers coming! Love and miss you all!!!
Hello, wondering what was going on in the pix from the back with everyone in white uniforms... was it a martial arts/ gym class or some kind of formation? Also, you keep thinking of me as you get in those tightly packed elevators with the disco lighting, but be careful before you bust out any disco moves. Oh, hey the one young lady in another pix (possibly from a mall) looks very tall, and also looks like she may be Japanese? So you may not be the only giant? Also, some of your students look pretty tall. One more thing, have you and Jennifer found any Zumba classes in Japan? My greetings to Jennifer... Blessings on you, my child!
ReplyDeletePS. If Lynn can have ps, so may I? So interested to hear how the morning announcements/ intro went. And so thankful for the warm greetings from their school to you and your students. Yes, I hope the entire Selinsgrove student body will make a big deal of welcoming them when they come.
ReplyDeleteMom--the tall girls is one of the host family girls, and yes, she is very unusually tall. No, no Zumba classes yet. It was a Judo class with the people in white. Tonight Jennifer and I are going on a "night bus tour" with Akira (the host) and the principal of the high school. It will be a late night, but exciting again. I love you so much, Mom, and I'll see you in less than a week!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures LYd! I particularly enjoyed the pink bubble thing :) It sounds like you are having a fantastic time. I'm so happy you get to have this great experience. Can't wait to hear what song you chose for karaoke. Please take some video :) God Bless!
